Nope, there is a file named "configure.log" but this is its only contents:

Ok i think i got mencoder compiled and installed now. The previous error thats i got was due to the missing dev package : zlib.h. I reinstalled the build essential with the missing package. So now i went throught all the installions in this guide.

However the ps3mediaserver still doesnt have multi-core mencoder option available.

As far as I know, the multithread-checkbox will always be greyed-out on linux system.If you compiled mencoder with multithread-support it will use it automatically. At least for me that's how it works, box is greyed out, but all 4 cores are utilized.

This is my first post.I'm successfully using PS3 Media Server on my MacMini but I'm would like to set up a NAS that will host all my multimedia files and that will act as my new PMS server.I'm trying to achieve this on Ubuntu Server 9.04 64bits using only command line.For now I'm doing it in a VM to test if I can achieve my goals before buying my new system and I can't compile ffmpeg-mt.

The only thing that didn't went as expected is during the "get neeeded lib dev here change libglide2 by libglide3 if you are on Ubuntu 64bits" step.I can't install the following libraries :libartsc0libartsc0-devlibxcb-xlib0-dev

Is the "Enhanced multicore support for H264 HD content" supposed to be greyed out in any dist or config ? I hear some talk about ffmpeg-mt and mencoder with multicore support..but how the "hell" do i know if i have done it right.. hehe?
